| Select only these columns or rows from the input. Opposite of `reject`. | ||

| This differs from `get` in that, rather than accessing the given value in the data structure, it removes all non-selected values from the structure. |

This statement is a little confusing. I always thought of get and select like this.
getgets the value out of the structure it is inselectselects the value maintaining the structure it is in
I'm not saying you have to use my words, but it would be better to say it a little differently than it currently is here.

That makes sense. I just grabbed the language from the implementation, scope commands | where name == select | get extra_description.0. I didn't realize it was already documented in the Book, so I will close this PR.

There's already Using |

@NotTheDr01ds I will close this if it is already documented in the Book. Thanks! |

We could as least put pointers to where it is documents. The language guide is there for a reason and leaving it blank isn't a great idea in my opinion. There should probably be some minimal information, even if it's copied from where it is document in the book. |
